"The principles the USA was founded on led to slavery being abolished here."
now that I KNOW is true.
UK did it on religious grounds
We have a set of seccular universal values
I think those values were based on our religious heritage, but i think the basic values can stand on their own.
The enlightenment helped.
I'm on the fence in terms of it being truly secular values or it simply being a derivative off of religious values.
"Don't hurt people and don't take their stuff" seems simple enough.
or "how would you like it if they did that to you?"
@TheGhostAgent. I think it's hard to really split them up too much.
Was talking w/the Mrs in terms of how we have to at least acknowledge religion playing a major role in human history and how it was a seed for enlightenment values
but I wouldn't discount the place that we got them form for sure.
Some religious values are from general wisdom too
The lines are blurred in some cases
Yeah the whole 3/5ths thing was to prevent southern states from getting too many electoral votes. The first state to end slavery was only a couple years after the revolution, I think Maine?
Yea well, talk to any modern day atheist who thinks religion is only bad bad bad and have 0 role in society. It makes me wonder whether or not they're just parroting shit from their teachers or colleagues to look 'cool/educated' or if they actually understand the arguments behind atheism.
i'm gonna go with they are parrots.
I think parroting
Usually they are
If you havent actually studied the subject matter and you are just mad because christian mommy and daddy wouldnt let you smoke weed and grounded you for getting your 13 year old girlfriend pregnant then you are a parrot
rofl. Did you just assume their relationship status?! Boyfriends can get pregnant too! REEEEEEEE!!! /s
But fuck if that doesnt make me want to burn down an LGBT shelter
My hypothesis of the enlightenment "inspiration" is how religion/christianity decoupled itself from having a top-down approach of salvation (Catholic church/Pope) to a bottom up (Protestants/Lutherans) where your relationship is directly w/God, not through a intermediary channel.
Which evolved to 'individual human rights' no longer being given to the populace by Kings and Lords (top down), but rather the individuals have born rights naturally.

Yea, lesbian relationships are statistically more abusive than any other kind of relationship... who woulda thunk angry women would also be very vindictive to each other? 🤷♂️

THAT CAN'T BE A REAL TWEET
Sad panda
Actually Warren is 1/1000th NAmerican soooo not all white
Am I doing this right?
Translation: Warren is the whitest woman in America. Richard Spencer has given up his crown to her.
Nick Fuentes is pretty fucking white
That and her ancestors are more linked to the efforts to genocide the native Americans.
***points at forehead*** Which means she's related to the Native Americans. She never specified how.
Aww~ Cannot debate that point. ^^
but wait is Kamala for real gone?
Yep.
Looks like it's a Warren candidacy.
